GOVERNMENT WILL OFFER WAHINGS SUPS TO PUBLIC Opportunity Is Offered to All Citizens to Help Defeat Au tocracy of Prussians. I LIMIT OF LOAN - FIXED Persons of Small Means May Now Practice Thrift and at Same Time Help the Government. The war savings stamp brings to- every home the opportunity to help' in the defeat of German autocracy and at the same time it brings an op portunity for safe investment ot earnings, backed up by the resources of all the American people. Uncle Sam offers a ?5 stamp for $4.12 during the .months of December and January. Beginning with Feb ruary, the cost of the stamp will In crease one cent each month during the year 1918. The limit of this loan for the en- tiro country is $2,000,000,000. That is equal to about $20 for each man, woman and child. The allotment Is made on the basis ot population for each state. Subscribing will be as easy as buy ing a postage stamp. War savings stamps will be on sale at postoffices, banks and at other convenient places, such as railroad stations, stores and factories. There is nothing compli cated about the plan at any point. Any person'with 25 cents in change can make a start by buying a thrift stamp. With this purchase will be given a thrift card containing space for 1C stamps. These stamps will not bear interest until the card is filled, when it may be exchanged for a war savings stamp by paying a few cents difference between $4 and the value of the war savings stamp at the date ot exchange. The most business will come through the war savings stamp. which has a redemption value of $5 in 1923, bearing an interest rate ot 4 per cent from the time It is pur chased. When the first scamp is purchased a war savings certificate is supplied without cost. This con tains space for 20 war savings stamps. If purchased during December and January a war savings stamp will cost $4.12. Twenty such stamps, enough to fill out the certificate, will cost $82.40 It purchased before Feb ruary 1. This sum will give the holder a certificate which the gov ernment will redeem for $100 on Jan uary 1, 1923. There is no chanco to lose as tho government will buy back the cer tificates at any time after January 1, 1918, upon giving ten days' notice at the postofflce. Not only will tha purchaser then receive money back, but will be paid Interest at the rata ot one cent a month on each war saving stamp on the certificate, or approximately 3 per cont. Inducement to thrift is one ot tha cardinal features of the plan. One who is putting 25 'cent pieces into thrift stamps In order to couplote a full war savings stamp will be ani mated by the same 'spirit as the one who has started with the stamps to complete a certificate. These drib lets will converge into a mighty stream ot millions and billions. No rich man can monopolize in, this loan, although the rich man will be welcomed on the same basis aa all others in doing his bit. No one parson can hold more than $1000 in. war savings certificates, and no purchase of more than $100 can be made at any time.
